It's a Beautiful Day to Climb a Building in San Francisco

With your bare hands and nothing else

Alex Fking Honnold. He is famous for climbing sheer mountains with no safety equipment of any kind, often smiling through the deadly process. The man doesn't really explain why he does what he does, so we must conclude that he simply lives to surprise us — and to remind us that we are capable of far more physical feats than unloading the dishwasher. You can, in fact, be strolling down a street in San Francisco on your way to your next burrito when something catches your eye. It looks like a ladder, except it is made of bricks. Most would keep walking, maybe take an Instagram. Alex Honnold decided to do some "scrambling," which is a great euphemism. Luckily, someone caught him in the act. They don't call him the real-life Spiderman for nothing.
